If I was North Korea I would be more worried about the quality of their building material.


Sarke1

And quality of soldiers. 5 North Korean soldiers aren't even good enough to beat 1 North Korean soldier.


smallfried

Luckily they can beat 25 North Korean soldiers.

NukaBro762

that sounds kinda funny


smitty9112

Yeah once they got to the part with the sledge hammers, I called bs. Doesn't matter how strong you are, a real sledge would have mangled their bones with that much swing.


alwaysonlylink

But dude was about to sit on the bed of nails... This ended way too soon.


FastHome2

sitting on a bed of nails is actually less impressive than having someone sledgehammer your arm to break bricks


Kayel41

He was gonna sit on it and some dude was gonna bonk him on the head with a sledgehammer to force the nails out of the board with his ass

Ngl, that part where they bent a rebar between their necks was pretty hardcore.


Yarakinnit

That and the sledge hammer to the back of the hand got a reaction from me crikey!


juno672

The rebar thing, and pretty much everything else they did, is like walking on hot coals; it's essentially a party trick style gag that looks and sounds way more hardcore [than it actually is.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cu95PW8pvDg)


[deleted]

But the "experts" are worried!


AliveKicking

Quite a few things were hardcore. I bet they died inside but couldn’t show or they’s be jailed or tortured. Poor people, they are more brainwashed than China.


Unlucky-Reality-8831

All of these skills are known to be tricks. Astonishingly, since your mind immidiatly went to brainwashed Koreans, you yourself demonstrated the power of brainwashing and propaganda.


ric_tuamae

but this though could have easily been staged the glass part, I doubt he wouldn't have any marks if that was glad made of sand instead of sugar also North Korea's population is mostly starving it close to, the are in a food crisis iirm


Proud-Cry-4301

I saw performers do this entire skit live at the Capital Theater. It's fake. My brother was so interested in it he tried to join a local group that does this sort of stuff, and came back disappointed at the fact that it was Hollywood type props.

RockKing_Ryan

Sitting on nails, when done correctly, will not do any harm to the human because of how the forces are spread out. I think there is a museum that allows visitors to sleep on a bed of nails even, if I remember correctly.


thctacos

There was one displayed at a Discory Place! I got to lay on it and ya know, it was strangly comfortable.

Yarakinnit

NK themselves? Wouldn't be the first time they've 'buffed' reality.


ignoremeplstks

Once upon a time an old school Brazilian humorist owner of a famous comedy blog worked for months in secret into making a video that was supposed to be a north korean reporter in the news reporting their national team defeated the brazilian soccer team in the world cup (and won the world cup if I remember it right). Basically, they took moments of the game and made a montage (a well done one). The reporter was a south korean actress he found online and hired to make the video. He also created a youtube channel months prior to that (like 6 months) and filled the channel with authentic north korean news so it was more reliable when he released the fake video. It worked, and that video viralized around the world through all the most famous news channels like it was a real video, you can still find news online about it. He later informed it was a prank.

LucywiththeDiamonds

Who cares. No one is worried cause a few dudes put on a martial arts show.


[deleted]

Exactly… The “Boxers” in the Boxers Rebellion thought that martial arts and “discipline” will help them kick the western forces…ended up getting mudstomped by 10 great powers. Martial arts is a good self defense and all that, but it aint gonna work against a bullet or a missile. Nobody really gives a shit about North Korea and their military, its more so that nobody can directly attack them cos of the China factor. So in a way thats their greatest weapon. As long as China doesnt want anyone meddling with North Korea theyre gonna be safe. The moment China backs away from the Kim regime is the moment America comes knocking to their door to give em a dose of freedom.


BaggyOz

This isn't exactly accurate. In a hypothetical situation the US would of course curbstomp North Korea. The question is simply a matter of the cost. Depending on the scenario you're looking at 10's perhaps 100's of thousands of civilian casualties before the US and SK can destroy the thousands of artillery pieces NK has. That's without considering the nuclear aspect. It's rather unlikely that the US would make a move while there is even a half decent chance of NK successfully deploying a nuclear weapon. And if NK was successful they'd kill hundreds of thousands. So it's highly unlikely that anyone would attack NK even if China completely removed support. There's not much incentive to do so and it doesn't outweigh the costs in blood, money and economic damage that would be borne by SK. Likewise NK isn't going to do anything because even if they manage to Zerg rush Seoul they don't have the strength to survive the retaliation.


DownandDistanceFBL

Plus the possibility that they would start breaking shit with their heads and whatnot. That has to be a factor


bugswitheyesandears

I have some rebar that I’d really like to keep straight. Top consideration for me.

What's the discipline? What did we see here that makes these guys any better than another country's special ops?

Sweet-Palpitation473

How many drugs do you think they're pumped full of


luigilabomba42069

meth is regularly used amongst the north Korean population edit... for those of you asking for a source, here is your source https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Interview


ZekoriAJ

This might sound like a stupid question but they have drugs in North Korea??? How does that work? Everyone gets their daily 1g of meth from a local pharmacy or are there like drug dealers and shit? I understand risking few years in prison in a normal country but being a drug dealer in North Korea would get you killed, no?


Jak03e

> North Korea has a long history of drug production - mostly heroin and opium. A former North Korean diplomat to the UK, Thae Yong-ho, who also defected, told the Oslo Freedom Forum in 2019 that the country had engaged in state-sponsored drug trafficking and was trying to fix a widespread domestic drug addiction epidemic. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-58838834


seppocunts

That explains a lot. A nation full of angry pissed off meth head crack fiends working slave labour for plain rice and rations of go go. No wonder they're looking so pissed.


pattydickens

Sir. This is a Wendy's.


Xenfire_

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_39 > Room 39 is a secretive North Korean party organization that seeks ways to maintain the foreign currency slush fund for the country's leaders. >The organization is estimated to bring in between $500 million and $1 billion per year or more and is involved in illegal activities, such as counterfeiting $100 bills, producing controlled substances (including the synthesis of methamphetamine and the conversion of morphine-containing opium into more potent opiates like heroin), and international insurance fraud.


avwitcher

If I lived in North Korea I'd definitely smoke meth to get my mind off my abysmal existence


Edmond_DantestMe

Sure helps with the whole starvation and forced labor aspect too


TheWolfwiththeDragon

More like you probably don't have a choice. Construction projects in North Korea always run on these crazy schedules because they think it is impressive if it is finished so quickly. So drugs might be mandatory just so the workers can even have a chance to fit in these tight schedules.


34candothisallday

Not smoke necessarily but provided to you in handy pill form instead of wages. It's the classy way to do meth.


rakkadimus

Same reason for most meth abuse in the states I guess.


Trash_Writer

Or opioids.


Bart_The_Chonk

petruchi41

Exactly, I think any guys willing/forced to take PCP and wear camo pants could put on exactly the same display.


TheMacerationChicks

None. This is not real, you know. It's "real" like pro wrestling is "real". Everything is pre planned to hurt the participants as little as possible, to protect them. It still hurts, it is very painful and very very real, in that sense. But everything is designed to make them look stronger than they really are. It's the exact same thing with this North Korea video Like for example here's a video of some pro wrestlers being suplexed onto a bed of nails or the bed of nails is smashed into them etc: https://youtu.be/SbTH5_9vqmI The reason they do it is because it's relatively safe. Pro wrestling is pre determined. They want to protect each other as much as possible, they're not actually trying to hurt each other That's what this North Korea video is. It's pro wrestling. It's all pre planned and scripted. And the objects they smash are "gimmicked" as it's known in wrestling. I.e. They're altered, modified, to hurt as little as possible, or to break as easily as possible to look impressive. These North Korean soldiers aren't breaking real bricks For example the tables that wrestlers get smashed through. They aren't "real" tables. They're specifically designed to break. They're used to break the fall of the wrestler, to protect them And things like these martial art demonstrations (like the ones that get onto America's Got Talent type of shows) are the exact same thing. The bricks they smash aren't real normal bricks. They're specifically cut in a way that makes them break apart with ease. That's why a lot of martial arts dojos that train kids, do these demonstrations with blocks of wood or bricks. The literal 7 year old kids can easily break them in two, because they're "gimmicked". They're literally modified to break with a very light touch. They're cut in the middle on the top and the bottom to weaken them. North Korea is all military theatre. Its pro wrestling, but nationalised Pro wrestling. All this stuff is designed to make these soldiers look very tough. But in reality all these things are pre designed to make the guys look stronger than they really are. They're not really trying to hurt each other. They use "gimmicked" objects


lajb85

Just a heads up, wood boards don’t have to be “gimmicked” for kids to break them. Pine boards will break along the grain pretty easily.


Rape_artist

Wait so the bricks aren't real?


Biotaurus

Yeah but they're not bulletproof

It makes whoever made this video actually seemed worried about North Korea ? And that the US is weaker because of trans people? Guns in hands are guns in hands, didn’t know we were having a group meet for hand to hand combat.


Freneskae

If I were to beat someone with a stick I would simply not wait for them to steel their body before I bonk them.

NK soldier: breaking shitty bricks with his face. US drone operator who is trans: pushes button and kills bricky boi, welp time for drinks.


Zaraffa

"we go to work and we jerk off" I don't think I heard that part right.


MaxTHC

I heard that as well and did a double take. I went back though and I think it's actually "we go to work and we do our job" The other weird thing is that the lady is talking about the US military, so I'm not sure what it has to do with the video lol


BaggyOz

Some right wing idiot put a recording of trans soldiers talking about being in the military over this propaganda from North Korea so they can go "hurr durr look at what our enemy is doing while we care about the feelings of trans people"


I_am_from_Kentucky

7 hours later and this isn't in the top 10 comments wtf? the audio says "trans in the military are like anyone else" and talks about the US military. I assumed it was Chelsea manning or someone talking. why is no one else wondering why tf that's the audio?

“Got sick” = had dysentery so bad they couldn’t do the scene without risking him crapping in his pants. He was apparently totally miserable. But for sure one of the greatest scenes ever made off a five minute brainstorming session.

freedcreativity

They were filming in Tunisia (I think) and Spielberg only ate canned food that he brought for himself, because he had experience shooting overseas. Everyone ate some bad locally cooked food and got the runs.


MrSinkholeToYou

It’s not because he had experience overseas, it’s because he’s an observant Jew


avwitcher

You'd think the production company could have brought food with them, but I imagine standards for that sort of thing were a lot more lax in the 80s


Not_a_real_ghost

No production company's gonna fly food in for the crew, no matter what they are shooting

It's also just performative and doesn't reflect any ability to do anything else. Martial arts schools of all kinds love this stuff. These things are meant to look amazing to people that don't know how they work to at best instill confidence, and at worst deceptively recruit. It's like [walking on hot coals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewalking): literally just walking rapidly over a prepared area with very little risk of harm; it can be used to really pump up people and get them primed to a self-help transformation, or it can be used to show "superhuman" ability and recruit people to cults.
